Print collector's quarterly (12.1925)

The series, Modern Masters of Etching, published by
The Studio, and edited by Mr. Salaman, makes a good
start with “ Brangwyn ” and “ McBey,” to be followed
shortly bjr “ Zorn ” and “ Forain.” Each part,
containing twelve photogravures and an introduction,
is published, bound in stiff boards, at the price of 5s.,
and it should achieve its aim of putting excellent
reproductions of etchings in a form suitable for study
rather than for framing, which would be less desirable,
into the hands of numbers who cannot afford originals
which have become expensive and rare.

A lithograph by C. A. Shepperson, A.R.A., omitted
by Mr. Martin Hardie from his catalogue of that artist’s
engraved work (Print Collector’s Quarterly, Vol. X.,
p. 450, 1923), is to be found in a rather scarce little
portfolio issued by the Art Workers’ Guild, and entitled
“ Sketches made on the Lithography Night, 14 April
1905 by Members of the Art Workers’ Guild, Clifford’s
Inn Hall, and published for the benefit of the Chest.”
The sketches, printed by T. R. Way, on paper measuring
11| x 9|in., begin with Music, by Sir Charles Holroyd,
who was then Master of the Guild, followed by fifteen
others in the alphabetical order of the artists’ names.
The Shepperson, belonging to the same year as the
earliest lithographs in the catalogue, is entitled
Threshers, and measures (limits of drawing), Ilf x8|in.
It is one of the best of the set, its only serious rival
being Strang’s fine portrait of Mr. Emery Walker, and
has more than any other the real lithographic quality,
in addition to its sterling merit as a drawing. It is
the only print in the set, except Mr. Pennell’s The Guild
